Minimizing PayPal fees: Setting 'Friends & Family' as the go-to choice for personal transfers

[rjftgdxerejfgxd]

As stated in the title, most payment are default to "uses and service" witch involve extra fee, the option is hidden and most of my friends doesn't see it, but I can't remove the fee once it's done, paypal won't refund me as they think i'm a "professional"... look men i wear t-shirt i never had any boutique, i only had to pass the account to "pro" bcause of sketchfab, but i do not wish to be pro at all and i don't like extra fee for nothing...

original title "How to make default payment as "friend" as most friend doesn't see the option (they are used to normal account but i had to go pro just for sketchfab...) and I have lot of fee for nothing..."

tile found thanks to gpt as paypal prompted me "Include descriptive keywords in the subject line that will make your topic unique." multiple time...

I've tried:

"How to ensure friends use 'Friends & Family' option to avoid unnecessary transaction fees?"

"Defaulting to fee-free 'Friends & Family' payments: Options for non-business transactions"

You can't accept friends/family payments on a business account which is what you have.

Paypal see you as a professional because you have opened a business account.

>You can't accept friends/family payments 

Are you idiot?? i can, it's just hidden for my friends as they just have to change dropdown menu, but it's not really visible as it's the same process as "normal" account, so they think they are sending to normal account even tho it isn't really normal as you stated.

Also i'm not a corporation, my name is Yoann and i just made some items to sell on sketchfab, i don't understand your corporatism conception of life, not everything is corporations.

You have a business account, you can't accept FRIENDS/FAMILY PAYMENTS ON A BUSINESS ACCOUNT.

You can only accept goods/services payments.

So I know who the idiot is if you can't understand that !

>YOU CAN'T ACCEPT FRIENDS/FAMILY PAYMENTS ON A BUSINESS ACCOUNT 

Then explain to me why it is possible for my friend, when they send me money, to go to option, and ... scroll to "send to friend" instead of the default "good and service" that is not auto checked like in other paypal account without the business...

And it WORKED, i had no fee, it's just boring as **bleep** to ask all my friend HEEY BE CARFULL ILL HAVE FEE BE REAAAALLLYYY CAREFUUULL WHEN PAYING ME, PAYPAL THINK IM A CORPORATIST WHO LOVE FEE.

Anyway, just read sketchfab doc, and they seem to have updated and now accept personal account since epic game buy them, ima rollout my account to personal as this corporate world is **bleep**ed up.

Hello,

So where is that option? I can't find a way to avoid the "Goods and Services" when I try to send money to a friend's Paypal account.

Thanks!
